RGGS is how we converted an old 1800sqft cement house foundation into garden space. 10 years and still growing strong with it. We grow everything in the RGGS except potatoes & asparagus. Love the end pieces for your pipe. What a difference the bucket adapter stands would make. We often move the buckets around at the beginning & end of season. And the mounted stands would prevent that net cup from being pushed into the bucket. We started with pvc pipe & have since moved that run to my mothers. Ours is the open rain gutters 16-10 ft runs. 10 years on this system and we are still in love with it. Thank you Larry Hall.
@@element4studios it’s all contained so if there were no leaked. Why not. We tore down an old house. And after years of looking at that cement monstrosity. And having to walk past it every day to go to the garden. We converted that cement pad in the garden
My daughter & I built your Kratky design a while back and have had a lot of success with it. I have been thinking of the next step up, and I think this could work for us. Instead of 3D printed adaptors, I'm going to try net cups, and support the buckets with two parallel beams of wood. Thanks for the inspiration!
I've been watching a while but this may have inspired me to build my first hydroponic system. It'll give me a reason to use the 3D printer I bought a few years back too. Good content as usual!
Been looking to set up a hydroponic system for a while, your videos came across my RUclips recommendations. Couldn't be happier. Informative as all get-out, and all around legend. Keep it up mate.
My Man !!!!! Been watching your videos forever. Sooooo happy that you released these I have a printer so now I have no excuse and summers around the corner here in South Africa
After you drill the pilot hole with the hole saw, flip the drill into reverse. It cuts fine in plastic and keeps the hole saw from grabbing on the plastic and makes for smoother holes especially on curved surfaces.
If you don't want water to leak between the adaptor and the buckets you should glue with circles of glue rather than a spiral. Sorry, had to get that off my chest.
Coffee takes around 20 years to produce a significant amount of coffee beans. Ask the Soviets. They started coffee plantations in Vietnam because the stuff had to be imported from the West for large sums. The bulk of Vietnamese coffee production was ready after the iron curtain fell...
Wow man, really cool creative designs. So much content to go through. I can't cut a straight line, but I'll have a go, wanna make a double shelf indoor hydroponics system and have strawberries year round, among other things.
I work in construction and happen to know that plasterers collect heaps of good quality 20l buckets. If you batt you eyelids at them you can usually get the for free.
Just finished our season over here in Northern Europe. But I am so doing this next season! I am getting one more green house which I will use only for hydroponics. Cant wait for March/April to come around :)
Aloha From Hawaii are you just showing a different grow system from the rain gutter or are you say the round is better than the square. I like the layout rather than running all the water tubes to each buckets.
I put together the last gutter system and it's doing great, but I don't like having everything set in place like this AND on larger containers those cups are impossible to line up without help. I worked around this by using a variation of the tote system you did a while back, and I like it a TON better. I have a float valve in the bottom of a tote, then cut up the lid of the tote so it sits on three pots inside the tote. I line it with garden fabric and fill w/ cocoperlite. I can move my totes, have a valve before each one in case I need to perform maintenance, and am doing the 'pot in pot' in some of them. Really saved materials and trouble. My gutter started leaking as well, so I'm just stuck with massive totes sitting on it and no proper way to fix it because the roots have grown into the gutter. Self Contained Tote Gravity System FTW. (Just a note, I call it the "Wick in a Box" system.)
Nice vid. Where's ya hook up for the 15 buck petg? Also if you scale the end caps down won't the hole in them for the float valve and 13mm hose become to small? Cheers for you work given me lots of inspiration.
I’ve made the hole larger than it needs to be for 100mm so it should scale down okay. I’m going to make a holeless version so people can cut the hole if they like.
I enjoyed and been inspired by your video and willingness to show the viewer your trial and error learning/experimenting process. Question - have you tried doing a wicking bucket with air root holes around the side of the bucket?
From my understanding, wicking doesn't waterlog roots as long as you have a medium that doesn't hold too much water. The perlite/coco coir is actually great for wicking. The coco coir wicks the water, but the perlite stops it holding too much. So yes, I think this would be great for lots of different plants.
Really enjoy your videos and hydroponics is one thing I want to do one day. This may be asked before, but do you reuse your media that you put in your buckets?
@@daveellis8643 Another really cool idea would be an A frame Hydroponic system to maximize space for smaller gardens. If can build one of those that would be awesome!
im a gutter guy but pipes work good i guess as they enclose the water by design. i have to make aluminum flashing caps with my brake to cover mine. i use a single bucket with a float that feeds all the gutters, just need to make sure that everything is the exact same level of the float bucket so the water stays equalized between it all.
i would like to see water melons in the rain gutter system. im planning on trying it this year haven't decided if im going to grow them vertically or horizontally.
Do you get problems with fungus gnats with a system like this. I was using a Blumat system and ended up with plants filled with fungus gnats. I assume due to the constantly moist top soil. Any tips?
Regarding RGGS and Dutch Buckets, which do you prefer and for what reason? Would you completely move away from one in favor of the other? I don't have too much space, so I can't have both systems unfortunately.
@@Hoocho Alright thanks :) If you could pick only 1 system, which of the systems that you have, would you pick? RGGS, Dutchbuckets, Flood & Drain or NFT?
How deep a channel do I need for the float valve to work? I plan on using square PVC or a hudroponic NFT gully and want to have the float enclosed. Cheers.
That's awesome I would love to be able to pick up a 3d printer. Anyways my question has to go with your surroundings. In your green house - what is the mesh your using as a screen? I am planning on building a green house next year and I'm looking to start sourcing the parts I will need. How much light does it let through? I'm looking for a material that will allow about 75 percent of the sun light through it. Ty love all your builds and your channel
@@swampcritterisbackbaby1740 They would allow 75 percent of the light through is that what your saying. I was looking at mosquito netting. Is that the same thing?

Hi I'm a slow learner here I'm still trying to understand this system .I see the difference with the kratky method of hydroponic.i saw the Dutch bucket too .Now these are my questions. Where do you drain out the water nutrients, I thought it will be like the Dutch bucket, a circular system. I'm very new with the kratky method, I'm just searching to discover different SYSTEMS of hydroponic. When you put a seedling in the perlite bucket and the net cup is all the way down ,then does the plant survive by the time its roots to the water in the gutter.im watching but I'm puzzled.i see no hose in the top like in the Dutch bucket hydroponic. Ok I will keep on watching. I want to do mini gutter hydroponic to grow beets ,or raddish ,or CARROTS.

Loose cap is placed over perforated end if one is using perlite only to minimize damage to nutrient pump of loose particles. Add medium. Its simple, dual purpose use for the main structure by just flipping the drain assembly as needed. The link is just a very rough concept diagram. ITS NOT SUITABLE FOR PRINT.

* Four parts:
** The base as currently designed but no net cup and the balance reduced to a rim like structure for the sole purpose of supporting the bucket.
** Suitable uniseal to fit the hole in the bucket and seal it.
** A 3D printed drain. Approx 400mm in length. At the 200mm mark a wider shoulder that will seal against the uniseal. 200mm below the shoulder is solid tube. The 200mm above the shoulder is perforated tube in the 150mm to 200mm zone.
** a cap to loosely fit over the drain when needed.
Construction:
* Glue base to the bucket.
* Insert uniseal to the bucket hole.
* Insert drain solid up in the bucket or perforated up in the bucket depending on desired operation of the bucket.
Use:
* Rain Gutter mode, perforated end is face down into the source nutrient in the gutter. Add medium.
* Dutch Bucket mode, solid end is face down into the outflow drain. Loose cap is placed over perforated end if one is using perlite only to minimize damage to nutrient pump of loose particles. Add medium.
Its simple, dual purpose use for the main structure by just flipping the drain assembly as needed.
The link is just a very rough concept diagram. ITS NOT SUITABLE FOR PRINT. It lacks the drain holes and is just a outline solid. I leave it to someone with a better 3D skill set to finish it off.
